I've Been Plotting and Planning...

During my recent hiatus from the site, I have been adjusting some of my plans in regards to the blog. A few things have been delayed, others will continue forward with only minor disruption, and a couple of brand new ideas have sprung to mind.

I was hoping to launch my "Radio TCoT" project this October, but I will have to delay that until the end of May. Until then, I'll use the time to learn and tinker with my sound editing software so that when I DO launch the podcast, I can present you with a decent product.

With the new computer, I can once again resume work on "Project Terror Wear"- which is what I've named the ongoing development of hoodie and t-shirt designs for the site. I have a couple of designs already created, and am working on getting them actually produced for sale. I'll be posting sneek peaks of these designs over time, and will keep you all updated on this project.

The first new "episode" of "What Movie Wednesday" will take place October 3rd- and I'm excited about it. I've really missed having people vote on the movies I watch and tweet to. Also, keep your eyes open at the end of May for a "Special Announcement" regarding this feature!

One new project is my new blog, "Life in the Corner." With this blog, I'll be gving everyone a look at the life of a blogger and reviewer. You'll get a glimpse at the behind the scenes of what I do here at "The Corner of Terror," as well as away from the desk. I'm hoping that it'll be as interesting and entertaining as what I do here. My first entry there will be on October 8th!

Okay, so there's a quick update on the things I've got on the go right now. I hope you're all as excited about the days, weeks, months ahead as I am!

Meridian: Kiss of the Beast (1990)

Sometimes, a director/producer will surprise you- such was the case during " Terrorpolooza 2012 " when I watched Charles Band's " Meridian: Kiss of the Beast " Catherine Bomarzini has come home after her father's death. Needing company, she asks Gina to stay with her. Soon, the two meet a wondering troupe of performers that Catherine invites to dinner at her castle. Catherine find herself pulled into a love triangle and an ancient curse that only she can break. After watching movies like " Evil Bong ", and " Demonic Toys ", I really wasn't expecting too much from this Charles Band movie- but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The story is actually quite interesting with lots of potential for eerie scenes, and character development. It's a nice twist on the classic " Beauty and the Beast " story. It's a bit slower than most of Band's other works, but moves smoothly and draws you with it. I have to ad...

Zombie Bikers From Detroit (2001)

Over the years, it has been shown that with very little money, a skillful director can put together a high quality horror movie (John Carpenter's " Halloween ", " The Blair Witch Project ", and " Paranormal Activity " being a few of them). So, when it comes to determining a movie's quality, budget is no longer a negative... Ken and his mother have moved from Hell, Michigan to Grosse Pointe near Detroit. Upon his arrival, he meets the lovely Courtney, and her jealous suitor Chad. While Ken and Chad square off, an evil is growing within Detroit and slowly spreading towards Grosse Point... where Ken will meet his destiny ... This week's " What Movie Wednesday " winner was " Zombie Bikers From Detroit "- a low budget horror movie that feels like it was put together as a school project. High School, or College... I can't really tell. The premise- as stated in my little synopsis is interesting- as was the title. ...

The Black Castle (Les Daniels)

Vampires and witches are often a good basis for a horror novel. Through in the Spanish Inquisition, and odds are you'll get a pretty good story. In 1496, while the Spanish Inquisition is in full motion, Diego de Villanueva is seeking a way to rise through the ranks of the Inquistion. He will do anything he needs to... even use his brother's darkest secrets and knowledge to bring fear and hatred to the world... " The Black Castle " caught my eye while shopping at " The Book Place ". I was intrigued by the idea of it taking place during the Spanish Inquisition. While I did enjoy reading this book, I was also a little disappointed. The style is very fitting to the story- it has an almost old world charm and rythm to it that I found pleasing to the ear. It's also easy to read, and flows at a nice pace. While, it's not "fancy", the images it creates are fairly good and atmospheric. The story itself is a really interesting idea....
